In America, we stereotype Asians as super-smart, so this story makes me think the Japanese are trying to break that stereotype by passing a stupid measure.

Polygraphs are inadmissible in court. Yet we still believe in this? They may as well use dousing, staring at tea leaves, or reading hairy palms as well.

Real truth on so-called "s*x offenders" is found at oncefallendotcom.

As a person who is on the public register in the USSA, I can assure you making the registry public is a terrible mistake. My current project is a documentary on the family of a registrant killed by a vigilante in Port Angeles, Washington. This killer was a career criminal yet he was considered a "hero". One of his victims is a teenager who had consensual relations with another teenager. Why would any country follow America's bad examples? Look for a Jill Levenson study called "Collateral Damage: Families of Sex Offenders," for example.

The registry INCREASES crimes.
